….Before you call Hamas Terrorist
HAMAS is the largest of several Palestinian militant Islamist groups. Its name is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement -BBC
Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist political organization and militant group that has waged war on Israel since the group’s 1987 – Vox news
According to her website hamas.ps/en Hamas is a national Palestinian movement that works with the rest of the Palestinian people and with all national and Islamic factions and bodies and people of conscience all over the world on resisting the Israeli occupation as well as liberating the Palestinian land, Jerusalem, and Islamic and Christian holy places, securing the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland and establishing a sovereign Palestinian State.

…Before you call Hamas Terrorist…
Hamas is fighting Israel, not Jews. Hamas’ battle for liberation is against Zionist project, not with the Jews because of their religion.
Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against Zionism or Zionists who occupy their land (Palestine) unjustly.
Many people including Nigerian Christians do not know the difference between a Zionist and Jewish. That’s a FACT! Little wonder why many of them display the flag of Zionism, thinking they are supporting the biblical Jewish people.
In fact, there are many Jews advocating for human and civil rights, and economic and political freedom for the Palestinian people.
They have on several instances, opposed the current policy of Israel towards the Palestinian territories, particularly the occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. If you think this is a lie, learn more about Jews for Justice for Palestinians (JfJfP).
Many Jewish companies have joined the boycott campaign against Israel. They all want the apartheid state of Israel to be held accountable for its human rights abuses. Check the activities of Jewish Voice for Peace.
Many orthodox Christians including Catholic, Anglican and Protestants are in support of Palestine cos Hamas has been protecting their historic sites. In fact, the 1.3% Christian population in Palestine are victims of Israel bombardment.
Pope Francis in 2015 formally recognised the state of Palestine, calling the Palestinian leaders angels of peace.
What’s then wrong with these Arab leaders? Or…are they not aware of the significance of Palestine, or they do but pretend otherwise? If not for Hamas, Mahmoud Abbas of Al-Fatah would have been sold out.
Oh… Arab leaders are afraid because of their supercilious lives of extreme decadence, plus how they lavish the ill-gotten oil money on Yachts on ‘the French Rivera’, homes in Cannes, endless nights in London clubs and brothels, and shopping trips to Paris.
Or do you think a Saudi prince who receives 100,000 dollars every year since birth and who by age 18 would be 2 million-dollars rich will be ready to abandon the luxury and be tagged terrorist, whose death is imminent for supporting Palestine?
It’s a big shame!
Before you call Hamas terrorist, Hamas leader, Khaled Meshaal defines the group struggle, The struggle against Israel is for our cause, our land. We fight them because they have occupied our land, and attacked our people, and forced them out of their homes.
Long Live Gaza, Long Live Palestine
